Heavy Freshets in Canada

MONTREAL, April 21.

There are heavy freshets prevailing throughout Canada. Many villages are flooded, and there has been great destruction of property. The locks and dams near Ottawa are in danger. The western trains have been intercepted for the last three days. The road is washed out near Cornwall, but is expected to be right to-day.
